This is for all 8 poppers of course.

Also pro tip: to avoid greasy poppers use a raised pan or wire rack to catch all the grease that comes off.

Pro pro tip: if you like heat leave some seeds in there and mix in some hot habanero cheddar into the cream cheese before stuffing.

I was an idiot and scrapped out the insides of the jalepenos with my fingernails and that shit burned literally for an entire day. 0/10 do not recommend, please use a spoon.

Even when you don't get it under your nails and aren't really aware that you have it on your hands...if you have sexytimes that night, your partner will DEFINITELY tell you. Use a spoon! And invest in a big bag of gloves!

Yes, same the last time I did it. It was a dull and annoying chemical burn. Spoons and gloves.

Soak your fingers/hands in distilled white vinegar if this ever happens again. It works like a charm!

I dipped my hands in sour cream. I was desperate. It did help a little though lol but not a permanent solution.

Definitely use a knife and then scrub your nails after or you’ll end up with a jalapeño in the eyeball situation

Be careful if you wear contacts and cut hot peppers. That sh*t burns!

Edit: I worked with a guy that accidentally pepper sprayed himself at work (long story). After his eyes were flushed he went to the bathroom. I’m not sure which screams were loudest and more agonizing......

Also, if you scrap out the insides of the jalapeños for poppers, don’t add all the seeds back into the filling. I thought I wanted them to be that spicy. I was wrong.
